Itâs my birthday today, whoohoo!!! And this cheesecake is the perfect way to celebrate!! The recipe inspiration comes from my friend Julianne and her cookbook âNo Bake Treats.â

I have a huge collection of cookbooks. Some that are definitely collecting dust, and some that have spills, splatters and bunny-eared pages because I love them so much. Todayâs recipe comes from a cookbook that will be used often.

Why is this one a keeper? Becauseâ¦.

Itâs packed with delicious no bake recipes. Perfect for summer.

Itâs created by a blogger (Hi Julianne) I love and trust! I know her recipes will knock your socks off!

The photos. Every recipe has a photo (I LOVE THAT) and they all look amazing. Iâm curious which one you will try first!

I love âno bakeâ desserts. (you can see I have quite a few on the blog already!) Especially as we are in the heart of summer here in the midwest, desserts that donât use the oven are essential. I still need a dessert for my birthday, so the timing of whipping up one of these âNo Bake Treatsâ was perfect. And, since I love banana pudding desserts (AND CHEESECAKE) this one got my attention! I did change up the recipe slightly, just to make it a little easier (I used boxed pudding mix instead of her homemade pudding recipeâ¦.and I used Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream)â¦.but feel free to purchase her book and make it the original way!!

Speaking of purchasing her cookbook, want a chance to win a copy, for FREE? Iâll be choosing two names at random to win a copy of her gorgeous book, so be sure to enter the giveaway widget located after the recipe below! The giveaway is only open for a week, so hurry up ð

Back to this cheesecake. Who wants a slice to help me celebrate my birthday??(moreâ¦)
